My rotator cuff pics(warning graphic)

[Donut Slayer]

Here are pics of my surgery. Rotator cuff was torn in 3 places not 1, labrium and bicep tendon wasnt damaged. Had a Big bone spur and shoulder full of bursitis(sp). Doc said she removed spur and all of the bursitis and I could go back to weightlifting next year. 3 weeks in a sling followed by rehab for 2.5 months. Very little pain except when I move it more than I should. Only movement I have in my shoulder now is about 9 inches forward to back. No sideways movement yet. Gotta wait 3 weeks for that. In the pics, all fuzzy edges are tears, red tissue is bursitis, blue thread is the stuff hol;ding my rotator cuff together now, and yellow tube is a "pain pump" that drips lidocaine into the joint. I pulled that Sunday as its only good for 20 hours. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l298/RLB194/img002.jpg
